Darin, Thank you very much for your reply! I've tried out the test sample code and linking them to xpcom.dll But I have more questions...
Doom() seems to be (perhaps I am wrong) only marking the entry in cache as no longer valid... what I am trying to do is actually "securely" deleting the cached item... like zeroing out the file, or something like that... I've noticed some are in the cache directory <hash>d<generate> format file, but others seems to be in _CACHE_* files... Is there a way to figure out the location of a particular item on disk after I enumerate them all? (I haven't been able to find the idl call). Thanks alot! Any pointer helps.
